Great work Alan. May be beneficial to anyone watching that when inflating the expansion vessel the system drain on the boiler needs to be open. Otherwise you will obtain a false reading. Digital gauge is a must also. 😉
Thanks for the comment. Happy New Year.
Your a very busy guy Alan , cheers for your days on the tools and sharing with us all. 👍⭐️👍
Thanks 👍
"A plumber"... Allen, you are very modest!
Love to see a in-depth boiler service and also an in-depth tool video. Keep up the good work Al :)
Thanks for watching.
Thanks Allen, really interesting seeing real world installations and problems. Keep it up.
Thank you for taking the time to watch. 👍
Good job
👌👌👌👌👌
Great video Alan do more of these enjoyed watching the whole thing. Keep up the great work
Thank you UA-cam Hero for your kind words. Have a great weekend 👍
Good job. The newer boilers are hard to service.. they are all different from each other.
No interchangeable parts.
Gracias!! Saludos desde Argentina
Thanks Allen...as per, great job.
Hi Allen, great video. Just a heads up with the Fernox TF1 filter, there is no need to open it up. All you have to do is remove the magnet and drain the filter out. Flush it a little with the system water to remove all of the debris. We've installed so many of them and never had the need to open them up.
Thanks for watching.
We use an electronic LGSR on our mobile phones, you’ve got to take photos at various intervals during the service of things like flue sample points and test nipples replaced with LDF on them to prove they were put back after service. This protects the engineer from someone tampering with boiler and the engineer getting the blame.
Thanks for watching.
Love your videos I'm starting my gas course in march! Super nervous but so excired. I never thought I'd do something like this but working in the office in property maintenance opened my eyes a bit. I'll deffo be watching your videos aand going on site a lot xxxx
always informative. cheers big Al keeping it real.
baxi seam to be the way to go now days enjoyed the video.
Thank you for watching. 👍
I’m starting my gas course in a month and I’ve been watching all of your videos and especially this one I really liked as it showed me the inside components and different types of boilers, something I’m very new to, thank you Allen for the helpful videos I know I’m going to find this course easier now cos of you. Any videos on your channel you’d recommend for me or a new learner to watch? thanks again!
Great Video AGAIN - real life situations are the best - clear explanations & tips Thanks for posting
Thank you. 👍
Smashing it 😀 just received my certificates last week! got myself a little.van and buying gas card next week any advice wouldn’t go a miss! Wish me luck lol! keep up the videos mate

North Face Ninja already done plumbing you bum 😂 guarantee your a Paint and decorator .. jog on scruff
Allen Hart you are good Sir.
Happy new year.
Great video as ever Alan.
Thank you Paul.
Hello Allen I like your good honest videos and you certainly no your job , I have a weird problem with my Ravenheat system boiler which does not seem to like the cold ( don't we all ) it goes through it's cycle etc and can hear it sparking but when it's cold it is reluctant to fire up , I turn it off and retry a while later and the old gal fires up bless her ! once she is warm she readily and keen to fire up on the thermostat no problem , strange eh ?
Nice one Al great video. If you get a chance would you be able to do a video on “how to drain a heating system if there isn’t any drain offs” please 👍🏼
Cheers
This video of Allan's shows some options on how to drain a system ua-cam.com/video/mPkPA_o9pX0/v-deo.html
Thanks for watching.
Good video many thanks
Thank you for the kind words, Hope you have a wonderful weekend 👍
On the tools lad. Get in my boy
Thank You
Fantastic video I got a vaillant eco tec pro my flue goes up and horizontal for 2 metres I'm sometimes getting water coming out from flue it sounds like a big burp and then bosh water falls out I've been caught out a few times while smoking outside.boiler is 10 years old serviced every 12 months absolutely no issues with boiler just a small concern why it's doing this my gas engineer says it's fine for the last 10 years since he installed it.HOPE YOU GOT SOME SOUND ADVICE
Thanks for another great video Allen. One thing re. plug v fused spur. What can be better safe isolation than a plug that pulls out the socket?
If you turn the plug off the boiler could still be live.
Really interesting video Allen, never know what you’re going to find when you turn up to service a boiler you didn’t install
Normally shocking installs 😂😂😂😂👍Thanks for watching.
Standard Saturday night, nothing on tele, watching plumbing videos on UA-cam 😂😂
coopstheplumber I am very happy you are watching my videos 😂😂😂Thank You
Theres definitely someone going to accuse you of not cleaning out the boilers cause you never showed it 😂 nice vid Allen
I do not strip all boilers every year. 👍
I love explaining how carbon monoxide detectors work. I see one round a friends house the other day sitting on the floor next to the fire place🤷🏼♂️. I just said do you know what to do if your sitting in living room when that goes off? “ yeah turn the fire off and open the windows”, “No your fkin dead cos by the time it goes off 3 feet below your head you’ve probably been dead for 20 mins🤯
Thanks for watching.
Hey Allan look after ur self ur health looking down in this video.
You are like teacher to me learn a lot from ur videos.u gave me confidence.
Sincere wishes from me.
Thank you so much for the comment. Happy new year
Hola excelente... me pasas donde comprar lector de Co²
Thanks for the video Allen, just wonder on the 2nd boiler service that you said flue too close to the door and also socket need to be done right, did you write down to recorded or you told customer? or what you need to do when you service a boiler and have something like that?thank you im just new to Gas safe, thank you
Where do you stand with boilers not fitted to regs? The baxi ecoblue is not to regs,did you at risk it? Another firm could go there next year make a report without touching the boiler and you would be liable because you could have been the last one there. Enjoy the vids👍
Joiners boxing in boilers is the bane of my life lol
Nice one Allen is it a requirement to change burner seal on the viseman every time u break into heat exchanger??
No but the boiler was quite old so i would rather change it. Thanks. 👍
Smile Alan...
I am a grumpy old man 😂👍
where do i buy co² sensor please link colleague
alan could you possibly recommend an electric combi boiler for a very samll 2 bedroom cottage with underfloor heating, would an ordinary combi boiler be enough? thanks
Have you seen what the Romans built. Nothing you show with all the technology will truly prove to be neat. It’s a nice job man. But it’s modern day neat. It’s really nothing compared to even your closest church we all ignore that’s truly neat
Thanks man. I love your videos. My comment was not personal to you. You are an inspiration to aspiring engineers. I just feel deeply about the fact that with all the modern technology we can’t compare to the perfection of historical buildings. Such millimetre perfect measurements. But thanks for posting. You sorted me right out the other day on a full service of this boiler. Cheers
How hard will it be to find work ones I have passed my acs
Hi Alan can you please put the link for full boiler service if you have made one.
Search my channel, I have done a few. Thanks
*Can i just watch you do a video strip teasing a bunch of boilers magic allen*
Thank you for taking the time to watch my video.
Hi good video , with the flue being too close to the opening what decision did you make ie, not to current standard and advise customer ? Is it ok to still leave the boiler running . I'm just curious as I always find things like this grey areas. What's your threshold on when to leave boiler running and when to switch it off in a situation like this ? Many thanks . Dave Kerr
Hi Dave i will do a video soon about it. Thanks.
@@AllenHart999 nice 1, always learning off guys like yourself . Please keep it up as your helping the rest of us who want to learn be better gas installers . Cheers
Hi Alan great vid again, just doing my First time acs.. that last Baxi service, you note flue to close to opening,.. how did you leave it?? Did you have to class it as AR or just make a note of it, as I get told different rules to follow and many a people saying “nah it’s fine”
cheers
Engineer judgement, I just advised customer, I can not see any risk. Thanks.
Hi bud another quality video. What card machine do you use I'm looking at getting one.
Not actually sure what it is really, Lots of good deals around though. I prefer it to the apps you can get on your phone. Thanks.
Hi allen,liking the videos, how much do your charge for a service, or rough price,especially for something like a strip down on a HE when replacing burner/heat exchanger gaskets.
Price in Dublin is roughly 100 euro.
Thanks for the vids.
+Wayne Kelly Hi Wayne, Basic Service is £72, major service starts at £144
Service or re installation gosh😥
Hi Allen, can an Ideal logic 30+ flu fit through my existing 4.5 inch hole in the wall? The manual states a 5 inch hole is necessary.
Yes it will fit , you only need a 5 inch hole if your fitting the rubber collar on the flue to push through the hole and then pull it back against the wall to seal the hole......👍
Thanks, Allen, you've saved me so much work. You're a star.
Please call a gas engineer. Thank You
Where did you do your training Allen? Brookhouse training centre?
I am apprentice trained, been doing job 30 years, Originally trained at Leeds College of Building. Thanks
Looking to do my gas safe quals to become a gas safe engineer , any recommendations on what courses or course providers to go with, and have no previous experience in heating or plumbing any info appreciated 👍🏼
As many training days as possible. Also watch all my videos 😂
thank you for your reply. i think 0.004 is the max ratio? above this ratio is deemed as not safe?
How much you charge for the last Job? Just call out fee I guess LOL
Hi Allen, I have a boiler to fit so how would I be able to contact you? Thanks
I am quite busy at the moment but feel free to call me if you are in Leeds 07725 692699 Thanks.
show us a gas meter and a nice little gas rate on the next one eh allen 👍
clive ramsbotty That might be hard, The app is on my phone 😂😂😂
Allen Hart can’t you gas rate without the aid of an app Allen?
@@paulw4904 No, Even at BG we had an app, If i got my books out i could work it out but only need that when doing acs. Thanks.
Allen Hart .....shocking!! Next you’ll be telling me you don’t know how to pipe size or calculate vent in series!.....tut tut!🤔
@@paulw4904 I use apps for everything these days, We always did everything on computers at bg long before apps though, I cannot remember my name most days 😂
That is not the way to clean a tf1 out .... open the drain point and pull the magnet out , this uses the system to flush the sludge out without removing the lid and having problems with the o ring ;)
Ste Marshall I don’t have problems with the o ring, I want to take lid off so I am able to service the o ring, That way they never leak.
I doubt that cleans it as good as taking it apart
@@tomadams6034 You are correct, I have flushed them before and then removed lid to check, It always leaves some magnetite at the top, Best way is to remove the lid and clean o ring and replace, In my opinion anyway. Thanks.
This is how the manufacturers say to to it
Allen Hart Defo, proper job 👍🏻
The brickwork is reasonably neat. But Allen the cement is the wrong colour. :(
Well spotted, we could of done with some red dye really. Thanks.
8) bags
“Brickwork is neat....” - different coloured mortar and the flue isn’t central. That would annoy the heck out of me if I was the customer.
Bloody hell alan show us a proper service, all the way through!
I have done loads, Did you watch the ideal vogue one? Thanks
ua-cam.com/video/tErmZShhZoo/v-deo.html
Allen Hart not sure if I have or not allen. I keep watching your vids hoping I’ll see a service all the way through! 😂 you’re teasing us!
@@simonstones1918 That vogue one is all the way through, Thanks. Happy new year.
Allen Hart cheers allen. I’ll take a look tomorrow. Happy new year to you too. Success in 2020 👍
the ratio supposed to be below 0.0004. your one seems to seems to be high!
That,s not true. Thanks for the comment though.
